ClausenˆÉ¬¢s ˆÉ¬£In the Bleak Midwinter.ˆÉ¬§ The Festival will also feature music
by Spevacek, Hovland, and Boris Ord as well as familiar carols from around
the world. This performance is the sixteenth annual presentation of The
Festival of Lessons and Carols by The Maryland State Boychoir at The
Cathedral Church of Saint Matthew.

The Maryland State Boychoir mission is to identify talented boys from
throughout the State of Maryland, offer them the opportunity to sing and
encourage them, through singing, to develop a sense of self-esteem and
self-discipline. The Boychoir is committed to providing a safe place for
boys to do something they love: singing. Choristers in The Maryland State
Boychoir come from many different religious, ethnic, and economic
backgrounds. The boys range in age from 7 to 19, and come from Baltimore
City, the nine surrounding counties, the Eastern shore of Maryland, and
the suburbs of Washington D.C.

Celebrating its nineteenth year, the MSB performs over 60 times each year
throughout Maryland and the Mid-Atlantic, Southeast, Midwest, and
Southwest regions of the U.S. International tours have taken the choir to
Ireland, Wales, The Netherlands, Germany, Austria, Italy, and Canada. Over
the years, they have performed at the Baltimore Museum of Art, the
Maryland Hall for the Creative Arts, the United States Naval Academy
Chapel, the Meyerhoff Symphony Hall, and the Lyric Opera House in
Maryland. The boys have also sung at the White House, the Kennedy Center,
PGA PresidentˆÉ¬¢s Cup, and the National Cathedral in Washington D.C.; St.
Patrick's Cathedral and Holy Trinity Cathedral in New York City; and many
large cathedrals in Atlanta, GA, Chicago, IL, Columbia, SC, and
Pittsburgh, PA.
